Sunspots wade
across the forest floor.
Omitted tree
and branch leaves
Publish and
point out gap-streaming light that
Lingers
until clock hands move and
Change all
the angles.
Trees fall,
branches break, and
Empty spaces
leave marks of different kinds that
Stretch
across the earth or across my face.
Lost things
spin out of place and disappear,
Unfound and
forgotten in time;
Scars take
their place--
Ephemeral light
pale dashes that imply a
Back story
of once upon a time
There were
no missing pieces.
Highlight absence,
draw a rough
Outline where
the base of a trunk was set
In earth
like a large foot and blotted the sunspots.
